Blue Star Patriot

During World War I, Army Captain Robert L. Queisser sought a way to honor his sons’ military service by the use of a service flag/banner.

A service flag or service banner is a banner that family members of those serving in the United States Armed Forces can display. The flag or banner is officially defined as a white field with a red border, with a blue star for each family member serving in the Armed Forces of the United States during any period of war or hostilities.

Entitlement to Flags
Flying blue-star flags are limited to specific family members. The spouse; parents, including adoptive or stepparents; siblings; and children, whether natural-born, adopted, foster children, or stepchildren, are entitled to display the window flags.

Flying Flags in the Window
The white field, edged with red, can hold up to five blue stars. The blue of those stars symbolizes hope and pride for the service of a family member. The flags are displayed facing out in a front window.
Silver stars, which indicate a family member wounded in action, symbolizing gallantry, while gold stars, added for family members killed during active duty, stand for the sacrifice made for honor and freedom.
The gold or silver stars are made slightly smaller than the original so that a thin border of blue shows around the addition.
